The Loop
Versatile Lifestyle Wear
Everyone starts somewhere. And for the team at MUNICIPAL, a Southern California-based company founded in 2019, that was on the public playgrounds, fields, and blacktop where they developed a love for sports, culture, and competition. Self-belief, hustle, creativity, character, and optimism are all part of the mindset for the founders of MUNICIPAL: Mark Wahlberg — yes, that Mark Wahlberg — Stephen Levinson, and Harry Arnett. Over the past four years they and their team have created comfortable, stylish, and versatile apparel for everyday wear, including on the golf course. For the latter audience, MUNICIPAL’s offerings include both colorful and toned-down polos, pants, shorts, hoodies, half-zips, and pullovers, plus hats and socks, much of which can be seen worn by 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark (above right). “MUNICIPAL is lifestyle apparel that resonates with people of all backgrounds, age, and style,” said Rob Chase, principal of Groundforce Partners, which directs global sales for the company, along with partners John Polkis and Greg Brown. “It has done fantastic in golf because it offers the consumer something different, with premium fabrics in creative and cool styles, plus color options that appeal to everyone. MUNICIPAL has the options to fit any personality and the versatility to be worn on and off the course.” www.Municipal.com
